Raiden is the
God of thunder and protector of the earth realm. Although he is not the
most powerful of Gods, he is Earth's guardian, guiding the warriors of
Mortal Kombat in their fight against the evil forces of the Outworld.

Forbidden by the
Elder Gods to participate in Mortal Kombat, he is forced into the role
of advisor. But he is not the perfect advisor; he treats our heroes with
a strong dose of sarcasm and even offers the wrong advice on occasion.

Mysterious and
mischievous, Raiden is one of the most important individuals fighting to
keep the Earth free.

Kung Lao is a
troubled young warrior from the Order of Light Temple. He is a skilled
Mortal Kombat fighter with incomparable focus and strength.

Kung Lao was raised
alongside other children from the temple and trained from birth to fight
in the Mortal Kombat tournament. Having grown up in this environment, Mortal
Kombat is deeply entrenched in Kung Laoís character and belief system.

He is an amazing
warrior who is skilled in nearly every form of martial arts. Being the
best of the trainees, Kung Lao rightfully earned the honor of defending
our realm. He is now the reigning champion of Mortal Kombat.

Shao Kahn is the
evil emperor of Outworld. He has taken over many realms in the past, including
the once beautiful realm known as Edenia. He conquered and destroyed it,
forcing it to become part of the Dark Realm of Outworld. He murdered Edeniaís
king, took the Queen Sindel as his bride, adopted Kitana as his daughter
and transformed Edenia into a desolate realm - making it part of his collection
of realms knows as the Outworld.

He seeks out other
worlds to conquer and he desperately wants the Earth realm, not just as
a collector, but because Earth is special, a young energy rich planet that
also happens to be the gateway to other realms.

Siro is a handsome
good guy with a strong sense of duty, discipline and honor, and an amazing
fighter. He comes from a long line of protectors and takes his job of guarding
Jen quite seriously. Content to follow in the footsteps of his father and
his father before him, Siro enjoys his place in life and the order and
security it affords him. Some have called him straightlaced, but Siro thinks
of himself as - reliable.

Taja is a feisty
charmer with an irreverent gleam in her eye. She is a sexy and proficient
professional thief, con artist, and schemer who gets by on her ability
to tap into whatever is necessary to disarm her marks. Even when caught,
Taja smiles boldly, confesses her crime and somehow is let off the hook.

Taja was born
into a nice, but not wealthy, European family. As a child, she and her
less than traditional family traveled to the Far East. There her parents
provided a wonderful and fascinating though not opulent life for her. At
the age of 12, Tajaís parents mysteriously disappeared and were thought
dead. Left on her own, Taja learned to survive by her bold charm and swift
cunning.

Shang Tsung is
Shao Kahnís demon sorcerer. Handsome and though quite ominous, he is not
a screamer and rarely raises his voice. Believed to be from Earth originally,
Shang Tsung has the ability to cross the dimensional planes and travel
between Earth and Outworld. Shang Tsung also has the unholy power to steal
the souls of those he kills, which allows him to shapeshift or "morph"
into the body of the dead warriors. This soul consumption is also the fuel
that keeps him young and strong.

He is a fighter
whose only allegiance appears to be the Outworld Realm ruled by the Emperor,
Shao Kahn. Though a powerful sorcerer in his own right, he is not Shao
Kahnís equal, though if he could, Shang Tsung would take over Kahnís position.
He would turn on Kahn in a nanosecond if he were certain he could depose
or outsmart him. Shang wants Kahnís power and is ultimately scheming to
take it.

Over centuries
of Mortal Kombat, Shang Tsung has remained undefeated laying waste to untold
numbers of fighters with his sorcery, until his match with Kung Lao.

Very dangerous
and sexy, a conspirator never to be trusted. In the cobalt mines, she teams
up with the Shang Tsung, impressed by the fact that the cobalt mines have
no effect on his magical powers. Though sub-serviant to Shang Tsung, Vorpax
bows to no one. Sheís a slippery sort, coldly ruthless, who mysteriously
seems to know the ins and outs of the cobalt mines better than anybody.

She is the most
dangerous creature alive, the ultimate seductress who conforms herself
to whatever role is needed in order to get what she wants, whether it be
sexy, sub-serviant, or fierce.
